At least I am getting paid something. It's amazing I how get great feedback from my remote clients - they all think I'm brilliant - but I get treated like I'm a different person when it comes to a 9 to 5 in person job. Too bad my clients are small business owners and can't afford to pay me that much...

Thanks. I will think about it. I hope I didn't come off as snooty. I will work anywhere, but with the lower level jobs, I can't even get an interview, even with a CV in which my higher level accomplishments are removed. No one wants to hire someone with 25 years full time business experience as a ca...

Thanks. :D Now I know not to waste my time looking for a diagnosis. I don't like labelling myself, to be honest. I'd rather just learn how to cope.

Hello everyone. I am a 48 year old woman wondering if getting a diagnosis will help me in the workforce or will stigmatize me. This is my story. (Long, sorry.) I have some autistic tendencies, I guess, but I am not sure whether I could be defined as autistic. For example, I am very introverted, my o...

Hi everyone. I am not sure where I fit on the NT/austistic spectrum. I have some autistic qualities, I think, but some qualities where I am very NT. I am an older person, late 40s. I am having some work related problems and wondering if diagnosis is a good or bad thing. (I don't even know if I am an...
